Hola! I was born in Valencia and lived here until I completed my Bachelor's in Art. I have spent half of my adult life in between Valencia and Northern Europe, in UK and Finland. I discovered my passion for guiding while I was living in Helsinki, and carried out guiding in my home town too. I have to confess that the love to my city has dragged me back here, to the South. The Mediterranean way of life, the light, the people and the city of Valencia are worth to be enjoyed every minute, and I would like to share this wonderful city with you! I am a researcher, photographer and teacher for seniors. I'm in absolute love with Art, Design and Architecture, and I also enjoy hearing all the stories that every city has to offer, and see and understand how time shapes residents and neighbourhoods. Most of my free days are spent by reading or exploring around. I've been in the Tourism business for over 14 years now, and living in different countries makes me understand international travellers, your needs and interests. I am used to be with all kinds of travellers, from politicians, artists or tv journalists to teenagers or families. I like to keep my tours as ecological as possible, green tourism and low foot print is my goal. So small/walking groups are my favourite and what I hope to provide. Lets get together and discover Valencia! 2013- Studies in Tourism - Helmi Business School - Helsinki, Finland 1999-2001 Photography and media at Brighton and Hove Art College, UK 1999 - Bachelor in Arts - Faculty of Fine Arts - Valencia, Spain No restrictions.

From the Futuristic City of Science & Arts to the roots of Valencia.
Overview of your Valencia tour
By choosing this tour, you will get a complete overview of my lovely Valencia! We will discover the nicest spots and see all the contrast that the city offers. "The City of Science and Arts" has been located in our old river bank for almost 20 years. Its futuristic design, by our local Architect Calatrava, surprises everyone and has been the background for documental and movies. including the new upcoming Star Wars series! We will also visit the city center, driving to the old town where our walking tour will begin. Entering the city through the Serranos Towers, we'll see the Cathedral, Generalitat and the old roman city grounds, finishing by the market area, where we'll see the UNESCO World Heritage of the Silk Exchange and you'll also have the chance to go inside the Central Market as well. Valencia is a city of artistic people, and you can feel that in the city's pulse. When I was an Art student myself, I used to stroll the streets just to get inspiration from every detail on the buildings. Join me!
